Introduction to AI
Welcome to Hi Ventures' AI onboarding resource. This guide provides essential videos to understand the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its key components. Each video has been carefully selected to build your knowledge from basic concepts to advanced applications.
Core AI Concepts
1. What Is a Neural Network? 🧠
Layers of interconnected "neurons" learn patterns to recognize images, text, and more. One of the pillars of AI
2. How Do Neural Networks Learn? (Gradient Descent) 📉
Iterative updates change connections to minimize errors. How models "learn"
3. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Go-To For Image & Video 📹
Models that detect visual features—like edges and textures—for image classification
Advanced AI Architectures
4. Transformers & Attention: Powering LLMs 🤓
Transformers let each word in a sentence look at every other word at the same time, so the model "gets" the context to write naturally
5. Large Language Models (GPT-Style) 🤖
Trained on massive text data to predict words and generate human‑like writing
6. Diffusion Models: How Machines Create Realistic Images, Video & Audio 🖼️
Start from noise (dots with no clear picture) and peel it away step by step to create realistic images or audio
AI Applications & Techniques
7. Reinforcement Learning & Deep RL: Learning by Trial and Error 🧑🎓
Agents learn via rewards and penalties; Deep RL adds neural nets for complex environments
8. AI Agents: AI Performing Tasks 🦾
Software helpers that understand context, plan, and act on your behalf to achieve goals
9. Multimodal AI: Combining Different Types of Models for Better Results 🤹♂️
Mixes text, image, and audio together to understand more contexts
Advanced Reasoning & Production
10. Chain of Thought Prompting: How LLMs "reason" 💭
Encourages models to list reasoning steps, boosting accuracy on multi‑step problems.
Bonus: MLOps & Production AI: Ensuring Reliable, Scalable AI in Production 👷♀️
MLOps builds the pipelines and best practices for deploying, monitoring, and updating AI models
